TECH 21, THE COMPANY PRODUCT OVERVIEW Tech 21 was formed by a guitarist possessing the unusual combination Geddy Lee has been performing without onstage amps and speakers since of a trained ear and electronics expertise. In 1989, B. Andrew Barta made the Test for Echo Tour in 1996, favoring major household appliances his invention commercially available to players and studios around the instead. Wanting to streamline and simplify his gear for new projects, Geddy initially partnered with Tech 21 to design a signature SansAmp, the world. His highly-acclaimed, SansAmp ™ pioneered Tube Amplifier GED-2112. This challenging collaboration involved distilling a rackload of Emulation in professional applications for recording direct and performing equipment into a single rackspace. According to Geddy, “The GED-2112 live, and created an entirely new category of signal processing. There have is really a continuation of my long-time approach to bass tone. A ‘deep since been many entries into this niche, yet SansAmp continues to main - clean’ tone coupled with the ‘edgy crunch’ I get from the SansAmp RPM tain its reputation as the industry standard. now all in one box.” With a full line of SansAmp models, Tech 21 also offers effect pedals and Challenging ourselves, to bring a super-compact, portable alternative, we further distilled the rackmount into a pedal format. The SansAmp YYZ MIDI products, as well as “traditional” style amplifiers for guitar and bass. offers Geddy’s core sound and the versatility for many different styles.

BY JOHN SWENSON It has been a long, vertiginous and damn exciting roller coaster ride for Rush over the past decade-and-a-half. The group has gone from being unabashed Led Zeppelinites to kings of the concept album to the thinking man's heavy metal band to an uneasy combination of eighties record­ ing styles and seventies relentlessness. One thing Rush has never done is rest on its collective laurels-bassist Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson and drummer Neil Peart have always been the first to point out the band's shortcomings when they feel legitimate deficiencies have surfaced. Accordingly, Lee was quick to admit his dissatisfaction with the band's last album, Grace Under Pressure , even though the record , which went platinum, has con­ solidated the band's position as one of Mercury/Polygram's most important acts. "We realized with Grace Under Pres­ sure ," said Lee on completion of the new album , Power Windows, "that we were not a techno-pop band.

    Relevant Rhetoric, Vol. 7 (2016): Rush’s Lyrical Rhetoric of Oppression and Liberation Rush’s Lyrical Rhetoric of Oppression and Liberation: Extending “Freedom Songs” into the Progressive Rock Genre Brett A. Barnett Associate Professor of Communication Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania [email protected] Relevant Rhetoric, Vol. 7 (2016): Rush’s Lyrical Rhetoric of Oppression and Liberation 2 On April 18, 2013, members of the Canadian power trio Rush were among the artists inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a well-deserved honor that was long overdue. Formed in August 1968, Rush would join artists like Pink Floyd and Yes in shaping the music movement that would come to be categorized as “progressive” rock, or “prog rock,” a rock music sub-genre that Rush.

After years playing on the Toronto music scene, Rush formed their own label, Moon Records, and shortly thereafter released their first album, Rush, in 1974.2 Rush’s self-titled debut album did not garner much attention until Cleveland’s WMMS (100.7 FM), widely regarded as one of the most influential rock radio stations in North America,

Beginning in April, fans will be able to catch RUSH in a number of new markets not visited on last year’s highly successful tour. Tickets for the Clockwork Angels Tour will go on sale starting January 28th in select markets at Ticketmaster.com and LiveNation.com. “The faithful came and RUSH delivered. Epic. Profound. Joyous. Incredible." – Buffalo News “A mind-blowing 3 hour concert...simply put Rush is EPIC!” – Dallas Morning News Rush’s 20th studio album, Clockwork Angels has earned rapturous accolades by fans and press alike since its release June 12th of last year. The Quietus described Clockwork Angels as “an extremely accomplished piece of music composed and performed absolutely flawlessly”. Q magazine called the taut songcraft “utterly engaging.” Rolling Stone declared “the power-trio interplay could put guys half their age in the burn ward,” while All Music Guide succinctly summed up “Clockwork Angels demonstrates why, after 36 years, Rush’s fan base continues to grow. Its musical athleticism and calisthenic discipline are equaled only by its relentless creative drive and its will to express it in a distinct musical language.” The Guardian UK claimed, "Those who worship at the temple of Rush will be in raptures; for those who remain agnostic, there may well be enough here to justify a leap of faith." At the end of 2012, Rush won both the Band of the Year and Album of the Year awards at the Classic Rock Awards in London, UK.

  • How Is Rush Canadian?
    Rush and Philosophy 2nd pages 3/11/11 1:56 PM Page 287 21 How Is Rush Canadian? DURRELL BOWMAN Given Canada’s relatively small population (twenty-one million in 1969, thirty-four million in 2009), many—but certainly not all—of the nation’s more ambitious musicians have pursued at least some of their career activities in the US and other foreign parts. Rush mainly demonstrates “Canadianness” by combining such British and American influences as progressive rock, hard rock, and indi- vidualism. However, the band has also included more specifically Canadian references across its long career. CanCon The Canadian government implemented specific content—or “CanCon”—regulations in 1971, and broadcasters were then required to include certain percentages of Canadian material. For music, at least two of a song recording’s four main categories of Music, Artist, Production, and Lyrics (“M-A-P-L”) must be “Canadian” according to citizenship or location. The interpretation of this changed after 1991, due to a “scandal” involving Bryan Adams failing to qualify as Canadian because of co-writing certain songs, such as “(Everything I Do) I Do it For You” ( Waking up the Neighbours and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves , both 1991), with such non-Canadians as Mutt Lange and Michael Kamen. (Spelling the word “neighbours” in the Canadian way apparently didn’t help.) The outcome is that even though Shania Twain similarly co- wrote the songs on Come on Over (1997) with her then-husband Mutt Lange and did not record any of this music in Canada, her album and its songs by that point qualified as Canadian.
